1.5 Security information

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines
and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security
measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit:
http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

Description
3.2 Area of application
3.2 Area of application

The multipoint temperature transmitter SITRANS TO500 (device) is used for evaluating a
large number of sensors (Fiber Bragg grating, short form: FBG) arranged on a fiber-optic
multipoint temperature measurement lance.
Up to 4 measurement lances with up to 48 sensors each can be processed simultaneously
by a SITRANS TO500. Accurate and fast determination of temperature profiles enables
process optimization in terms of service life, quality and output.
Locations of excessive temperature rise are quickly and accurately detected, thereby
preventing damage to the process, equipment and environment.
Wherever temperature profiles must be determined and installation space is limited, the
SITRANS TO500 with fiber-optic temperature measurement is the right choice.
3.3 How it works

In the SITRANS TO500 multipoint temperature transmitter, light is generated in the
wavelength of 1500 to 1600 nm and output to the measurement lance by means of a
continuously tunable laser light. Fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) are mounted at defined
measuring points on the measurement lances. Each FBG reflects light of a defined
wavelength. The wavelength reflected by the FBG varies depending on the temperature. The
reflection at the FBG is thus a measure of the temperature at the respective measuring point.
A maximum of 48 FBGs per channel can be evaluated, depending on the temperature range.
A gas cell with fixed absorption line serves as a reference in the SITRANS TO500 and the
wavelength determination is continuously adjusted by it.

You can operate and configure the device with the included parameter assignment software.
See section Installing the parameter assignment software (Page 24).
5.2 Viewing the temperature characteristic (Temperature)

The temperature characteristic curves of the channels (Channel) are displayed in the
"Temperature" tab. Each sensor is represented with a line.
The first twelve sensors of the selected channel are shown. All values of the sensors of the
selected channel can be read in the list.

5.3 Viewing the spectrum of the channel (Spectral View)
5.3 Viewing the spectrum of the channel (Spectral View)

The FBG peaks are displayed on the "Optical power (dBm)/wavelength (nm)" axis in the
"Spectral View" tab.
The complete spectrum of a channel is shown in the "Spectral View" tab. Each sensor
generates an FBG peak in the spectrum in nm. A change in temperature causes a shift of
the local FBG peak.
A temperature range is assigned to each sensor. The blue vertical line indicates the defined
minimum temperature. The red vertical line indicates the defined maximum temperature.
Each FBG peak that lies within the defined temperature range and the threshold value is
marked in the diagram, e.g. S1.
The Absolute Threshold indicates the minimum value in dBm that an FBG peak must exceed
in order to be accepted as a reflection. Absolute Threshold should be less than -20 dBm.
The Channel Threshold indicates the minimum value in dB that the highest FBG peak must
exceed in a temperature range in order to be accepted as a peak. The default value is 5 dB.

Glossary
Calibration
The measurement channels are calibrated based on customer requirements.
Channel
Each measurement lance is connected to a channel of the multipoint temperature transmitter
SITRANS TO500.
Connecting cable
Cable from the measurement lance to the device.
Degree of protection
The degree of protection of a device indicates the extent of protection. The extent of
protection includes the safety of persons against coming in contact with live or rotating parts,
and the protection of electric resources against the penetration of water, foreign bodies and
dust. The degrees of protection of electric machines are indicated by an abbreviation
comprising two letters and two numbers (e.g. IP55). The degree of protection is coded using
the IP code. The degrees of protection are standardized in DIN EN 60529.
FBG peak
FBG peak is a pulse that is displayed as a measurement result.
Fiber Bragg grating (FBG)

Fiber Bragg gratings are optical interference filters written into the optical fibers. They are
often generated using UV light.
Fiber-optic multipoint temperature measurement lance, short form: Measurement lance

Glass fiber with sensors in stainless steel jacket, with transition and pigtail
IP code
The abbreviation IP stands for International Protection as per DIN. In English-speaking
countries, IP stands for Ingress Protection.
Measuring point
Each measuring point is an FBG in the glass fiber.
SITRANS TO500
Glossary
Optical power (dBm)

Optical power is the derivative of radiant energy with respect to time. Optical power is
indicated in dBm.
Peak
See FBG peak.
Pigtail
Glass fiber cable and plug
Process Device Manager

PDM is a Siemens software package for configuration, parameter assignment,
commissioning and maintenance of network configurations and field devices. Part of
SIMATIC STEP 7. Used for configuration and diagnostics.
Sensor
A sensor is a measuring point. Each measuring point is an FBG in the glass fiber.
Transition
Transition between glass fiber with sensors and stainless steel jacket with pigtail.
Wavelength (nm)
Distance in the direction of propagation of a periodic wave between two successive points at
which the phase is the same (IEV 845-01-14)
Wavelength is indicated in nm.
